ChadW Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 WTF! Changed my Athlon 64 3400+ cpu core from 2.4 to 2.5, great it worked, turned PC on next day the power lights come on and fans are going but monitor turns off and hard drive led stays lit and er thats it, the PC is going no further. Oh bottoms I thought, so pressed reset and hey ho it boots as normal, all diag stuff tells me overclocking is in action and everything seems Ok, 2 hours of Quake 4 later confirmed this, and then any soft boots or hard power off/on at wall socket again work! Great leave it at that. Next day, same thing happended again, soWTF! Bios upgrade, dodgy power saving setting in bios, or did the soft reset should not really have worked and I am seriously burning my cpu up?

ChadW Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Btw I meant Seagate Barracuda 160g, would not touch Samsung hard drives with a barge pole! Anyone else had this or a similar issue, never seen a PC do this before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
